I placed my order for solar panels last September with Tesla and it's been a headache going back and forth. Every question takes 2 weeks to resolve and have to wait another 2 weeks for another site assessment. Simple questions such as placing panels in front of a window (had to argue that it wasn't an egress window) or putting it on different areas of the roof because they didn't optimally place it the first time have continuously delayed the project. Currently last site assessment for the last issue is on 1/31, so looking at a March install.
At this point I'm almost giving up on Tesla and going with another solar company to be grandfathered in NEM 2.0 if there are any more delays. One Tesla agent responded that they're looking into a method to submit the application prior to install/permit but it hasn't been approved. But, is there a way for me to submit my own interconnection through Sign In to lock in nem 2.0 after the permit is approved? I can also ask the city for a copy of the documents if Tesla is unwilling to provide them
According to the final NEM 3.0 proposal, a valid solar interconnection application includes:
